Galley kitchens in commercial aircraft are central components of modern passenger aircraft. The future use of alternative energies for engines will lead to a significant reduction in the energy available in the cabin by 50%. Such a significant energy saving is only possible through a leap in innovation in catering equipment. In the GECO (Galley Efficient Catering Operation) project, the aircraft galley is being embedded in a new centralized system context, enabling the linking of process chains and the networking of previously stand-alone systems to unlock new synergies. Structural improvements with integrated solutions reduce weight and energy consumption in the aircraft galley, while manufacturing processes are also being rethought against the backdrop of a holistic product life cycle. The use of sustainable materials contributes to the goal of improving environmental auditing.
